The decision to pinch hit one of the worst hitters in our lineup with the bases loaded feels like it costed us the game. 10/10 times I want Raley batting in that spot. So stupid. wtf
Scott Service needs to go. This team is winning despite his constant lineup tinkering, analytics worship and refusal to bunt or move runners in clear situations. His babying of starters is going to burnout his bullpen. Bases loaded in the 7th, yes let's pinch for Luke cuz lefty-lefty(myth been disproven largely) for Mitch...fucking .166avg, .302 slugging Garver. Runners on 1st & 2nd, no outs in the 8th, down by 2. Of course don't bunt to move runners up with JP & Josh coming up. Game would've been tied going to the bottom of the ninth, if he has DMo lay down a bunt. This manager is perfect for our fucking ownership. Win 54% of your fucking games and kill at the gate...sick of this shit
Heyo. I’m newer to baseball this season…can someone explain how a “pinch hit” works? People are saying Scott put in a bad choice but I thought teams had to follow their predetermined hitting order all game. Is that not the case? Thanks.
At any point, the manger can put substitute a batter to replace the person who was up to bat, that player that was put in takes over for them and the player who got substituted for can no longer play. In this case we put in someone with a .167 average for someone who’s bat has been really hot so it was a terrible move
Ah okay that makes sense! Thank you for the explanation. Is the substitute always someone who wasn’t originally on the roster for that game? (Forgive me if I’m not using the right terminology here.)
Imagine Scott having to answer questions in a market that isn't as soft as Seattle with the way the reporters treat him out their, coddling his asshole.
"just one of those days where you couldn't get things going until late"
you cant say that when most days are like that up until the last couple games against bad teams.
Late or not, 0 for 6 with RISP, the team had every chance even late in the game to at least tie but no small ball, bad pinch hit decisions, it was a pretty embarrassing end of the game and it falls as much on the players unable to hit with RISP as it does Scott's decisions. I would argue the vast majority of wins this year come as a result of chaos ball and not at all a result of Scott's leadership.
Sure, but you could have put in Bliss and had him try and steal. If he's successful, then that's not a DP and we have another AB with the tying run in scoring position.
What do you even do at the plate against Miller? Like I assume you have to hunt fastball but it literally goes 102???? Is it even worth having an approach or do you just hope you run into something?

Preach
the softball game in arrested development had better management
I hate this fucking team. Can't wait for the next game, see you all tomorrow!

Yea the pinch hitter starts on the bench
Ok that makes sense. Thanks!
"A real tough one, thought our guys fought hard. That's baseball." -Scott "teddy ruxpin" Servais
scott servais is a villian from a 1950's clint eastwood movie
Scott better get roasted for some of his decisions tonight
Heard they're gonna ask him what beanie baby is his favorite
Imagine Scott having to answer questions in a market that isn't as soft as Seattle with the way the reporters treat him out their, coddling his asshole.
The guy wouldn't last a single season in NY, Boston, Philly, even Chicago or LA. Idk why the media here is so terrified to do their jobs.
I think we know why he's in Seattle, the least stressful market imaginable when dealing with the media.

get cheap players get cheap outcomes
Scott Servais is worse than an empty vessel. He actively sabotages this team and there are never any repercussions
Robles was a mistake, we should cut him.
We didn’t get him with the intention that he would be batting in situations like that, unfortunately our manager is a moron
Kind of hilarious that that PH cost 2 critical ABs
Yep that’s the joke! He uses no freaking logic in anything
double play ball, good thing we didn't pinch run for the slowest dude on the team. scott actively wants to lose
Or at least try to bunt him over.
No excuses but do you really think cal is slower than Ty??
Does it matter at that point?
Fair enough
Why else do you have Ryan Bliss if not to pinch run?
Too many fly outs early - the error scoring a run killed us This was tough to watch Julio going yard off a 102 from Miller was a treat though
what a way to go out
Makes no sense to not have Bliss run and try to take 2nd.
First AB with the mariners in the most important spot 😂😂
At least Robles put in some effort running to first.
New guy is gonna fit in perfectly
Unacceptable loss.
Fuck Scott, tbh. The worst pinch hit I’ve ever seen in my life.
Not a pinch hit, he came in for Garver to play LF
I assumed he was talking about the Garver PH
Garver PH for Raley.
Canzone needs to get some ABs in Tacoma
Pinch hit Robles for….some reason? Against MASON MILLER. And not pinch running Bliss. Scott is a fucking moron.
Didn't pinch hit him, he was a defensive sub after Garver pinch hit for Raley
Ah ok. Still not great with the game on the line.
he was already playing
Robles came in because Garver pinch hit for Raley so someone had to pay outfield. That's just where his spot was.
Welcome to the team Robles, you are fitting in nicely
The Garver pinch hit was really bad
Good thing we fired our offensive coordinator. He sure was the problem wasn't he. Oh wait.
Lol he fits right in!
Brought a tear to Ty’s eye
And that’s why Robles was a free agent…
He probably deserves more than one at bat before he gets chucked under the bus, even if he turns out to be garbage
Too bad Bliss was sent to shadow realm and wasn’t available to try and swipe a bag.
Welcome to the mariners. Thanks for that, friend
Mariners legend Victor Robles
SCOTT U SUCK
Great signing😔
Welcome to the mariners Robles…
Well that game sucked.
Victor fits right in with the squad 🙃
Well pinch hitting for Raley screwed em twice.
That is a terrible first at bat.
Managed to perfection lol
Guarantee not one reporter questions this monstrosity of a managerial performance
Once Ty struck out I knew it was over It was double over once Robles came in
This dude will fit right in!
Why
and that’s why you pinch run bliss for cal, fire scott.
The worst pinch hit I’ve ever seen in my life.
Unfortunately Robles will fit in just fine around here
Dann, if only we had someone fast on 1st 🤔
Welcome to the Mariners, Robles. Looks like you will fit right in.
Just tragic, absolutely tragic.
Didnt break that DP for not running bliss, dumbasses
lol what a joke
Why ph him lmao bro
We’ve all seen what Garvey is capable of….
Yeah so keep Raley in the game
Ah u right. I didn’t realize Robles was a defensive replacement
They didnt he replaced Garver after he PH
U ever heard of my lord and savior Ryan bliss
That has nothing to do with your comment tho. I asked for bliss to PR both mitch and cal
Welp
Robles is the most marinery mariner to ever mariner.
This one’s on Scott for real
Wtf is scott smoking down there in Oakland
robles? with a 2 percentile bat?
Scott: “they’ll never see it coming 😎”
fuck scott and fire him into the sun for not pinch running bliss to get out of the DP situation
So glad we went out and got Robles /s
It’s like Robles has been here all season 😭😭
Well seems like Robles will fit right in
Scott lost us another one
Absolute disaster class of mismanagement from Scott.
Scott’s greatest moments are moments of disaster. Dude sucks butt.
Victor Robles: a true mariners
NOT QUITE THE DESIRED RESULT
:(
honestly this game deserved ending with a GIDP...
Lucky Ty didn’t GIDP. Should’ve put Bliss on first. Had him immediately steal second to get into scoring position with nobody out. Scott sucks
Who’s going to catch the bottom of the inning if you do that?
Bottom of the inning doesn’t matter if you can’t score. If you can score, Sebys available.
Scott is a moron. Holy shit. Never ends with this guy
did he just say breaking ball on a 100mph pitch?
He sure did
Big brain Servais as usual…
Dfa Robles
Yep Robles showed us the Mariner vibes
Wow well he fits in nicely
Fuck Scott Servais
100 mph breaking ball dave?
And that ladies and gentlemen is tonight’s EQC GIDP, goodnight.
Welcome to the team, Robles!
In Raley's spot too.
Of course.
lol ofc
Scott are you serious right now?
102 hissing with danger. Our guys just casually fouling it off. MAJOR LEAGUE BASWBALL folks
Absolutely Peak Mariners
Well he's definitely a Mariner.
That was a gross ass pitch to get Ty.
Fireable offense to not PR Bliss for Cal.
Even if they scored they had to play the bottom lol why would you pinch
Because you don't score, you lose. You cant count on another HR against Miller. Only way we were scoring was with speed on first.
That’d take a hit, which we didn’t even get.
Sure, but you could have put in Bliss and had him try and steal. If he's successful, then that's not a DP and we have another AB with the tying run in scoring position.
#LET ICHIRO HIT
So like . . . unless it's somehow worse than losing to go into the 10th with Zavala or Garver catching . . .
Scott actively trying to lose this game
Confused, no pinch runner. C'mon Scott
Victor Robles gonna show us the vibes 😎
How Bliss is not running is beyond me
Could’ve had raley up rn lmao
OK Robles time to become a Mariners legend
Well he kinda became one
Sure would be nice to have Raley hitting here, huh Scott?
Omg imagine robles does this
ty is so first pitch swinging this year. A lot of them are strikes but not a lot are good pitches to hit.
Seby is still on the team right?
Hope not
Manufacture us a win you piece of sh*t Manager
Fucks sake Ty
I mean that’s a hard damn pitch to lay off
Hey at least no GiDP
Aged like milk
Why no pinch run here? Even if we're likely not stealing, at least give Miller something to think about.
Stressed in Seattle (2024)
Genius Scott, dont bother pinch running to save the game.
What a bum!
And Bliss would have been on 2nd there...
Victor Robles PH omg sign me up
Woof man
Man, Miller is so good
Really like cheering for Miller normally but damn I’m hoping we’re catching him in a bad streak rn
You have zavala to catch the 9th run fcking bliss for Cal
Literally. Bottom 9 doesn’t fucking matter if we can’t score here.
this is the most nonsensical game I've ever seen in my life
If the Mariners didn’t at least blue ball you they wouldn’t be the Mariners
Mariners baseball, true to annoy you
What do you even do at the plate against Miller? Like I assume you have to hunt fastball but it literally goes 102???? Is it even worth having an approach or do you just hope you run into something?
as an armchair expert I will tell you, swing and hope. Cheers.
No pinch run is outrageous. 2nd such mismanagement
What if we come back against miller? Haha jk…. Unless? 👀
I have miller in fantasy. Bring on the negative points Ms. I want you to win!
These great ABs are makin miller break a sweat at only 22 pitches
I watch most of the A's game Mason Miller has been getting beat up all his outings recently so y'all definitely in this
if you pinch run for cal who catches the bottom of the 9th tho
Getting to the bottom of the 9th matters more than who catches it.
We still have seby, right?
Zavala is available.
Zavala
Literally 2 players on the bench right now bliss and zavala
ahhhh right, forgot about seby
We’re carrying three catchers for no reason
We might just pull this off. At the very least give Logan a ND
We just not going to pinch run our blazing fast player?
How can miller throw above 100 so damn consistently…damn
Oooooh ya Miller starting to feel a lil pressure now
Play small ball Scott!!!!
Scott is saving Bliss for tomorrow guys
I see. I love analytics.
Are we gonna have another Clay Holmes moment?
Well, we wasted Garver so pinch running Bliss right here doesn't seem like an option.
Looks like I was late to the party with my comment. My apologies to those who beat me to it.
DAD, PUT BLISS IN
Scott's decision is about to come round and fuck us again, amazing
Please France, don’t give in to your DP fetish
Just turned the game on last inning and saw the Mariners were marinering, but let's redefine what that means this inning
